✨holiday reads✨ Everytime we come to this cabin i ✨holiday reads✨  Everytime we come to this cabin in the countryside, I always like to have a good thriller to read.  Last night I binged the last of His & Hers by Alice Feeney and I really enjoyed it!  I called the twists (for once) quite early on but honestly, it didnt take away my enjoyment.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5  ——  I think today will be spent binging another in front of the fire 😍 this is my type of relaxing holiday  Although, getting In and out of the hot tub last night in -1 degrees was BRACING…. I think I lost a nipple 😂  ❓ what genre of book do you like taking away with you ?  🏷️

✨Pretty Little Lies✨ Huge Thankyou to @jessica_re ✨Pretty Little Lies✨  Huge Thankyou to @jessica_reading_writing @netgalley for providing this in exchange for an honest review.  This was my first NetGalley request and felt only right it being Jessica’s newest upcoming release.  —-  Genuinely…. ATE. THIS. UP!  It’s the perfect twisty psychological thriller where you trust no one and suspect EVERYONE !  I thought I had the ending figured out at around 45% but oh boy I was wrong, I’m not going to mention anything in detail don’t worry ! But prepare to question everything and everyone.  Loved the plot, the characters (well…. Some of them 👀) the pacing was spot on and kept me engrossed !  This might actually be my favourite one yet 🤭  Get this on your TBR and prepare to binge ! Out: 10th December  Blurb:  She’s hoping she’s paranoid. She’s terrified she’s not.
When Amelia relocated to Cambridge for love, she never imagined her new life would become a nightmare.
After uprooting her beauty therapy business to be with her fiancé Noah, Amelia receives the first message-anonymous, threatening, impossible to ignore.
As more sinister messages follow, Amelia’s new life begins to fall apart. It seems someone is watching her every move and now her clients are abandoning her for no reason she can see. It’s as if she’s done something wrong, but what?
And Noah is no help. He seems strangely distant, then conveniently vanishes to care for his sick father. Alone and terrified, Amelia suspects everyone.
Then, when a photo arrives which proves she’s being stalked, Amelia realizes she’s not being paranoid - the danger is very real.
Trapped in her flat, jumping at shadows, Amelia must uncover who’s tormenting her-and why.
Because in this game of psychological warfare, the people closest to her might be the most dangerous of all.
Trust no one. Question everything. Survive.  ——  [ ARC REVIEW / GIFTED ]  🏷️

✨sticker sheets are here !!✨ Here’s a lil snippet ✨sticker sheets are here !!✨  Here’s a lil snippet of how I make them.  I print them onto premium matte vinyl sticker paper then load them into my Cricut to kiss-cut each sticker individually giving them a clean cut while still attached to the backing paper.  Once they’re finished in the Cricut, I peel away the excess and trim down to the correct size.  These are so much fun to make and I am honestly blown away with how much you all are loving them!  ✨GRAP YOUR NOW, THEYRE ON A SALE 😱  ——  #bookishaccessories #bookishsticker #readingjournal #readingjournalsetup #journalsupplies #journalstickers #bujo #bookstickers #bookworm

✨Currently Reading ….✨ The Knight And The Moth ✨Currently Reading ….✨  The Knight And The Moth  ——  All of November, my Hidden Stacks members control what I read and they chose this to begin with.  I really wasn’t a fan starting this if I’m honest, I found it a little slow and a little head spin-y. At that point I was close to DNF-ing. HOWEVER, I’m around 50% through and I am now thoroughly enjoying it. I’m listening to it while I work and now I can’t wait to go into the office tomorrow morning just so I can pick up where I left off.  As with this authors writing I haven’t a clue what’s happening but I’m having fun and I’m enjoying the story.  I think I’m enjoying it more than the Shepherd King duology 👀  ❓ have you read this ? What did you rate it ? Lemme know (no spoilers though please- I’m still working my way through it)  🏷️

✨Mary & Brite ✨ By @wonderlandandwhisky ! Out TOM ✨Mary & Brite ✨  By @wonderlandandwhisky ! Out TOMORROW !!  I had the absolute pleasure of reading this as an ARC and once again Cass has stolen my heart.  This short novella is a twist on A Christmas Carol meets The Bodyguard (atleast for me haha) It’s a wonderful blend of Christmas in modern London with magic, mystery and grief.  Whilst dealing with some difficult heavy topics,  Cass’ writing really helps elevate the tone whilst not taking away the impact or minimising grief. With delicious spice, hilarious puns and banter this is definitely one to add to your festive TBR!  Cass, Thankyou for having me. Thankyou for writing this. Stay you! This was wonderful!  Blurb:  ‘Tis the season to be Mary...  The Ghost of Christmas Past is in a bit of a predicament. You see, someone is trying to kill her. Given she’s still grieving the death of her best friend, she could really do without the murder attempts. Especially at the busiest time of year for a Spirit.  Miles Brite messed up. He took down the wrong criminal and got himself expelled from the Watch. Now he’s an independent contractor desperate for a purpose, which is how he found himself as a bodyguard for the Ghost of Christmas Past.  She wants to be left alone with her grief.
He wants to find a purpose.
And neither wants to fall in love
